Here's an update on my small-voxel renderer, inspired by the look of games like Doom and Quake. The work I shared last year focused on handling simpler environment geometry. Since then, I've greatly expanded the scope of what I can depict in this art style. More info in thread.

I would love to read resources on leadership/supporting your organization with charisma/enthusiasm when the organization is communal and you are just "one of the many".

I know this kind of thing has been a big conversation with e.g. Zapatistas.

I feel like this role is v useful, but needs balance

Diffusion models are a kabbalistic miracle of math. At the core, they’re just incredibly advanced denoising systems, formally known as Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models (DDPMs), e.g. Stable Diffusion and DALLE-2.

Once you learn that genAI companies had to include porn in their image training sets or they wouldn't have had enough images of women, it's basically impossible to unsee.
These AI generated sketchers ads I’m seeing in the BART stations are GARBAGE.

Raleigh increased bus service from every 30 min to every 15 min on its route serving Glenwood Ave. Ridership then doubled in the year that followed.

Over last year, city’s high-frequency routes have had 89% ridership growth.

People will ride when you give them service that they can rely on!
When does the next bus come? GoTriangle reduces wait time on its busiest routes
The regional agency joins GoDurham and GoRaleigh in offering bus service at 15-minute intervals between Durham and Chapel Hill.

As much as I would like to meme about the BLS commissioner getting canned, it does feel like small potatoes next to what’s happening to our immigrant/trans/Palestinian/activist/whatever neighbors, so before I meme about it (which I will) just let it be clear that I see all of you and I feel for you.

Itch and Steam got a bunch of us thinking; we need a catalogue where creative (esp. NSFW & Queer) works are less vulnerable to censorship. A storefront we won't be delisted from. One giving us the autonomy to sell our stuff our way. So we're making Conjured Ink. You can join us. https://conjured.ink
